FAMILY AND CONSUMER STUDIES

The degree is designed for students planning to transfer with a
major in family and consumer studies. By completing the degree
requirements, students acquire a foundation in fashion design,
interior design, and nutrition and foods. Students will be able to
relate nutrition to health and food preparation and the use of
textiles to clothing construction and interior design as well as
apply the principles of consumer economics and fashion analysis and
selection. Competencies will be assessed regularly by student
performance in the classroom and laboratory through examinations
and portfolios.
